ABOUT JOEL KRAMER <\/h2>\n

“Joel Kramer writes about his background at the local online news site he founded. Here’s a excerpt:”<\/p>\n

BELOW EXCERPTED FROM: http:\/\/www.minnpost.com\/about\/<\/p>\n

“I got involved with newspapers early in life \u2014 I delivered Newsday in Queens, NY, when I was 12 years old. I was the editor of both my high school and college newspapers, and then worked as a writer or editor for Science Magazine, Newsday and the Buffalo Courier-Express.<\/p>\n

“I moved to Minneapolis in 1983 to become editor of the Star Tribune, and in 1992 I was named publisher and president. I held that position until 1998, when the newspaper was sold to McClatchy. Then I spent three years as a senior fellow at the University of Minnesota School of Journalism and Mass Communication.<\/p>\n

“In 2003, I started a think tank called Growth & Justice, focusing on state policy that simultaneously creates economic growth, does so sustainably, and shares the fruits of the growth broadly. I served as executive director until this spring, when I became board chair. <\/p>\n

“On the civic front, I served as chair of the board of the Children’s Theatre Company in the mid-1990s, and more recently as board chair of Achieve!Minneapolis, which galvanizes community support for public education in Minneapolis.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
